Great evening at the 'Monya' album launch.

October 25th , 2011 - I had the pleasure of playing in Monya Mathieu 's band for the release of her first solo album last night at the Ninkasi . Plenty of enthusiastic fans made the event a success. Bravo Monya!!

Springtime is choir season...

May 16th, 2011 - I just got back from a series of 4 shows with L'Ensemble Vocal Art & Son, who were celebrating their 25th anniversary this year. This very dynamic group sang a wide variety of pop music for a sold out crowd. I'll be playing with another choir at the end of the month - LAMISOL.

With Melanie Boucher at the 'Vieux Bureau de Poste' march 26th.

What a special night - My debut as a solo artist...

March 16th, 2011 - For the first time in my career as a bassist I was on stage alone presenting my solo bass compositions to a sold out house. It was a very magical evening for me. I'll be posting video footage from this concert soon...

I'll be performing my first solo bass mini-concert on March 15th.

March 7th, 2011 - I'll be opening for a very unique concert performance by Mosaïcordes - a Harp Guitar and voice Duo (Claude Laflamme and Karine Lesvesque) at the Ancienne Lorette Auditorium on tuesday March 15th. I'm very excited about presenting 3 of my solo bass compositions featuring my thumb picking and tremolo approach. Hope to see you there!

My thumb picking debut last Saturday puts wind in my sails!

February 21st, 2011 - I had a great time with The Jack Rozz Project last saturday. It was very special (and a little unnerving) to play exclusively with a technique that I've been working on only for a couple of years and in a different way. I was very pleased with the results and I'm very motivated to keep pushing forward with my thumb picking style. Here's a video excerpt if you're curious... Thanks to all who came out to support us and hopefully we'll be playing again soon...

February 9th, 2011- Every wednesday this month and in march, I'll be playing at the Savini with Monya Mathieu and Charlie Price. The food is good, the ambience very cool and if you like wine - this is the place to go...

January 28th, 2011 - Check out the site to hear, see and learn about our jazz fusion trio...

In studio recording Monya's upcoming album.

January 13th, 2011 - We've started the basic tracks for Monya Mathieu's album featuring compositions by Daniel Auger and Julie Brindamour. The album is being recorded at Studio Champoux with Monya and Éric Savard co-producing and is scheduled for release in 2011 . I'm looking forward to hearing the end result!

January 10th, 2011 - Last december a long time drummer friend of mine called to ask if I'd be interested in replacing the bass player in his fusion trio. I told François that I was working on an alternative right hand technique and that if they were open to me experimenting it with them that I'd be glad to do it. After our first jam session I realized that playing fingerstyle lines thumbstyle is quite a challenge...but very stimulating and a source of motivation to keep on pushing my technique to another level. Practice, practice, practice...

Halleluia!!!

December 5th, 2010 – What an awesome weekend of gospel Christmas music with L’Ensemble Gospel de Québec. Judging by the tears in the eyes of many spectators on Saturday night, I know I’m not the only one that was moved by the choir’s performance. I’m in the Christmas mood now..

‘Tis the season…

November 27th, 2010 – December has yet to arrive but the office Christmas Party season starts tonight for me. Let’s hope everyone can hold their liquor and keep their hands to themselves!! ;-)

November 26th, 2010 – Excellent night of pop-rock with a dash of new country yesterday, with Monya Mathieu’s ‘New Direction’ show. The band, with Dan Auger & Sylvain Mailloux on guitars, Serge Poulin on drums, Sébastien Champagne on keyboards, and Christine Mercier on back vocals, sounded great.

René Légaré saves the day!!

November 25th, 2010 – After yesterday’s accident left my main bass unusable, and my backup bass already being modified I found myself with no instrument to play tonight’s gig. Thankfully, soundman extrodinaire & bassist René Légaré gave me a call and offered to lend me his Yamaha BB300! Thanks man, - I owe you one.

Mysterious crack on the headstock and neck of my favorite bass!

November 25th 2010 - I’ve learned my lesson – never leave your bass unattended onstage! I was playing at the Cabaret du Capitol yesterday and while tuning up a few minutes before the show noticed that my bass was unuasually out of tune. It wasn’t until the middle of the set that I noticed the crack in the back of the neck of my bass. Upon closer inspection I saw that the headstock showed signs of abuse – when questionned about seeing the bass fall while I was away the techs mumbled an unconvincing - ‘No I didn’t see anything…’ Sometimes being easy-going isn’t a good thing…

So much so that the crowd, dancing to Charlie’s blend of blues, classic rock and pop, kept the door open to let the crisp late-night air cool them down! The power trio, with Perry Angelillo on drums, played 2 sets to a very enthusiastic crowd. The night ended with guest appearances by Serge Poulin and Mike Deway for some rockin’ blues.

We had a great time at the SQ retirement ball at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Montreal. With a marathon set which lasted 2 and a half hours non-stop, the band was pumped and the dance floor full - the whole time! Not only was the gig fun, but the after party in the 11th floor suite was… well…sweet! ;-)

I had the pleasure of playing at the EGQ’s album launch in front of a packed house and two local news crews at theThéâtre du Petit Champlain last week. What an energetic group! Since then I’ve been listening to the album in my car and it sounds great. Thumbs up to all who participated in the production – which spanned a two year period – their patience and hard work really paid off! I’m really looking forward to our 3 Christmas concerts in early December…
